Strong demand for Google's advertising helped boost revenues above the expected $15.61bn, but did little to inspire investors who were looking for more profit, pushing Google’s share price up by just 1% in after-hours trading.

Patrick Pichette, chief financial officer of Google, said the company is moving forward with “great product momentum”.

But despite Google’s product innovation, advertising is still the main driver of revenue.

According to eMarketer, Google will own 31.45% of the global digital advertising market by the end of 2014, 7.79% more than nearest rival Facebook.
